BRITISH HEADQUARTERS, Oct. 4. The British
advanced over a mile into the German lines in a renewed
Flanders offensive. The prisoners already have reached
into four figures. Several village were captured. The
British advance continues. Haig launched an attack this
morning alter many days of unceasing, relentless artil
lerying. Today's attack is among the biggest, if not the
greatest, battle of the war. The magnitude of men, mu
nitions, guns and territory involved is unprecedented.
Forty five thousand Germans were ordered to counter
attack the British at Zonnebeke this morning after the
first British blow. The British barrage fire caught the
Oermans and inflicted a terrific slaughter,
Massed British guns have been pouring a concentrated
fire of the greatest intensity the war has yet known on
German positions in the Ypres sector. Desperate Ger
man assaults interspersed" the bombardment. The enemy
high command realized the tremendous gun fire presag
ed another British drive, and sought in every manner to
mass troops and guns to prevent it. It was suspected
several days ago that Haig was preparing this great
drive.

NEW TORK, Oct. 4. The Deutsche
Bank, a branch of the Berlin Institu
tion, waa found to be the financial
head of German propaganda, authori
ties told the United Press. Many mil
lion dollars, expert accountants- found,
passed through the banJc to German
agents here and abroad. All financi
al transactions were carefully handl
ed, so its difficult to trace the various
deals.
Oorernment to Use Xew Powers.
' Officials indicated that the new
government inquisitorial powers con
ferred in the trading with the enemy
act might be turned over ' for the .
present exclusively toward running
down leads already uncovered in the
Deutsche Bank. Attorney General
Lewis, of New York, said. Thorough,
investigation of the books and deal
ings of the Deutsche Bank, the activi
ties of Hugo Schmidt offers unlimited
field for the United States authorities
which has not been exploited. Albert
Decker, deputy attorney general toki
the United Pre us, "We are leaving no
stones unturned to uncover the whole
matter and have found many crossing;
trails."
Witnesses Being Examined. -Lwis
is examining mny witnesses,
at the Murray Hill hotel. Some of
this testimony is directly in line with '
the Bolo Pasha case, and Is being
transmitted directly to the Trench,
government for use against Pasha.
Other witnesses are being; examined
to get general information about the
Deutsche Bank.
Hugo Schmidt, president of the
Deutsche bank testified before Attor
ney General Lewis this afternoon and
turned over copies of wireless mes
sages the Berlin foreign office sent
him. The messages showed Bern
storff's code name was Charles filed-
hill. Examination revealed that Ger
man propagandists were supplied
with money direct from- the Berlin
foreign office.
1.S83.0U0 Sent In 10 Days.
Wireless messages revealed that
Peril ngave Gernstorff 1.C83.000 be
tween March 13th and April first In
191.
It is suspected some German gold
was sent Villa, as the Mexican rebel
was active and well supplied with
money when Berlin sent the great
sums here.
Messages and Answers.
Fred Hooman was the code for the
Guaranty Trust Company of New
York, where some German funds were
deposited. William Foxley was de
signated In the Berlin foreign office.
The first message Schmidt sent,
dated March 11th. 11, follows:
"Communicate with William Foxley.
telegraph whether he has placed
money at disposal for Charles Geld
hill.? The answer dated March 13th: "In
reply to your cable, Geldhlll and Fred
Hooman have received money on our
account. You may dispose according
ly." On the same date Schmidt sent the
following to Berlin:
"Your wireless received, paid to
Charles Geldhill through Fred Hoo
man $500,000. Geldhlll requires a fur
ther ii. ion, ooo which we shall pay
gradually."
March 17th Perlln sent Schmidt...
"You may dispose out of Fred Hoo
man on behalf of Geldhlll 1. 700.000."
I Then came a terles of cable re port -
